Top and Bottom

Whether through necessity (because the product can only be presented in a specific orientation), or logic (because the base is consistent, but the top is not), we have a range of solutions to allow labelling on the base (or top and bottom) of a product at almost any production speed.


Top & Bottom, or Base Labelling Systems

When base labelling is required, on its own or in combination with top labelling, there are two tried and tested solutions to choose from:

One is a special conveyor transport system formed of two sections, with the label dispenser blade installed in the space between the two sections.

The other is a system of high-adhesion side belts (servo-controlled and generally installed on a self-centring support system) to expose the lower part of the product for labelling.

These solutions can be matched with our full range of labelling heads, including our print and apply machines and coders, to provide a solution to perfectly match the performance or budget requirements of the application, including any environment-specific build options; e.g. stainless.

We can even offer our advanced central management control (with ALritma based solutions) - recommended where the machine has many elements (e.g. non-stop), ensuring repeatable setup, controlling all device in one single recipe.

Top and Bottom in Detail

Our two sections conveyor system is commonly matched to our workhorse ALstep labelling heads. This provides a highly robust and economic top and bottom labelling machine solution - ideal for punnet labelling and similar fresh produce or dairy applications for example.

Most obviously applicable to the toiletries and cosmetics sector, as well as pharma, when label placement accuracy is paramount, our two sections system can be supplemented at the transfer position (between the belts) with a short twin side belt arrangement. This supports the product over the gap either to stabilise the product and/or to improve its positional accuracy. Alternatively, it might be required because the product would be too short to transfer without this support reliably.

It is possible to combine top/bottom and C-wrap functionality in one machine.

Our dual servo side belt system provides the benefit (in many applications) of being able to overlap both the infeed and outfeed conveyors of your existing line, often allowing its total footprint to be substantially less than a more typical two sections system.

It also allows head transfer; e.g. from slat conveyor lines, or with small/unstable products, which otherwise fall between roller arc between conveyors.

Another potential application of our dual servo side-belts system (in extended form) is to place two labelling heads in series (in the same labelling phase) to provide, either a non-stop continuous running solution or the possibility to pre-load a new job whilst the machine is running.

Proven modular print and apply label application solutions for any barcode identification/traceability requirement.
